Who drinks water or pees in the middle of the night?

I always drink water before bed. I know it will make me have to get up and pee in the middle of the night (which it does every time), but if I don't drink water before bed, I wake up in the morning dehydrated and with a scratchy, itchy throat. It just helps me feel better when i wake up in the morning, although I really hate having to get up and pee at night!

I don't have this problem. But when I was pregnant, it was quite normal for me to go to the bathroom at the midnight. I think it is a little bothering if you have to wake up at the midnight and go to the bathroom. I heard that eating some peanuts (with red skin) will be helpful, but I am not quite sure about it. It seems it is a kind of traditional Chinese medical treatment.

I generally don't drink water in the middle of the night, but there are times in these hot dry nights I wake up to a cough/choke - so then I need to get water. But I don't turn on any lights . . . we have a nightlight for the kids in the bathroom - so that's plenty of light for me to do my business .

Oh yes , i drink water when i awaken because my throat is dry already since i sleep with slightly open mouth . And because of that , i pee a lot too . But because our comfort room is outside of our bedroom , hubby and i have each a covered bedpan on which we pee . There's a light outside , so we can see it but not enough to awaken our senses well , so we get to sleep at once , once we are done peeing .

Guilty as charged! But I don't pee on bed, if that's what you are asking. Whenever I wake up in the middle of the night to go use the washroom, I sneak around and tip toe outside (that's where the washroom is) I am also very scared of the dark so I am looking in several directions while making my way too the loo. I can't turn on the lights coz that disturb others sleep. I use a flash light or my cell phone. And man every time...every single time Mom or Dad would speak up in the otherwise dark silent night and simultaneously scare the sh*t out of me.

Even without water, I'm up peeing in the middle of the night usually at least a half dozen times. And that's not before I go to bed. Before I fall asleep I go at least 4 or 5 times my husband says I pee at least 8 times before I go to bed (I know who's right).

Turning on the light programs your body clock to get up again the next night at the same time. Get a nightlight. I am old. I get up a lot, sometimes. Not so much lately. I usually get a drink of water after I use the bathroom.

It doesn't matter if I don't drink water before bed or not I will still get up to pee.

I get up in the middle of the night, but its not far from my side of the bed to the bathroom, and I have a very dim nightlight in there, so it helps me see, but it doesn't totally blind me.

I take a bp med with a diuretic - so I up to pee at least times a night, some nights even more. If I don't take the diuretic my feet swell. We have fancy night lgihts which provide enough light to find the toilet LOL

A nightlight in the bathroom means I don't need to turn on the lights. I only open one eye to keep from colliding with anything. Usually I fall right back to sleep.

Same here It sounds that we have the same problem. I keep a bottle of water near my bed.

I know this feeling.. I have hard time sleeping anyways, so when something wakes me up, in up.. No sleep again... But, if nothing wakes me up.. I won't wake up till long..:p I drink water and go to loo before sleep.. So, I don't have that issue..

Me too! I have no idea why I have to go to pee in the middle of the night while other people might not have to do that. But if I'm not drinking much water before sleep, then I will wake up too because of thirsty. Since I stopped to drink other water (include coffee and tea), I can go to pee up to 8-10 times a day! Well, back to the topic, when I go back to the bed, I can't hold my hand to not checking my phone for couple times, so I don't feel sleepy anymore.

I do most of the times and sometimes its quite annoying for me because its difficult for me to go back to sleep.

I do not have to go in the middle of the night but I run fast to go in the morning when I wake up.

I unfortunately drink too much coffee @infatuatedbby so therefore, I'm going every 15 minutes during the day but at night, you can be sure there is a 3am calling. For me, I never turn on a light when I go. I know exactly how many steps and what direction I need to go to visit the Porcelain God.

I usually sleep straight through the night. We have a tiny light in the bathroom which I switch on. Then right back to sleep for me.

I do... and everytime i wake up to pee, i drink more water as i feel thirsty.

After sleeping i did not do anything in the middle of the night....
